SAUTéED FISH FILLETS WITH GOLDEN GARLIC AND LIME

Steps:

• 1. Rub lime juice over the fish and sprinkle with salt. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the garlic, stirring, until it begins to brown lightly, about 2 minutes. (Take care not to burn, or the garlic will be bitter.) Remove from the heat and reserve in the pan. 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet and cook the fish about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until it is lightly browned on the outside, opaque but still moist inside, and just barely flakes when tested with a fork. Serve hot with some of the browned garlic and a drizzle of the oil spooned over each fillet. Sprinkle with cilantro. Garnish with the lime wedges.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
